*sigh* Why oh why does something always seem to go haywire when I just start to get ahead? Seriously? A few days ago I mentioned getting hit by a hacker. To combat, I upgraded my WordPress installation hopefully increasing my security a bit and then, BANG! now I don’t get email notifications when you guys leave a comment. I’ve been debugging the problem for 2 days straight and I’m throwing my hands up. For the first time in my life I’m really stumped. Usually I figure these things out, sometime it may take me awhile but this is beyond “awhile”. I’m really stumped. So I will not be able to reply via email currently but I will reply to comments in the comments. I just hope I catch them all!
Anyway, I won’t bother you with any more boring details about it. I’ll bore you with these boring details instead. ;~P
There is just SO much happening.
- I just posted this weeks video over on GreenLiteBites, Blueberry-Mango “Crisp”. There’s a short surprise in the end. It isn’t much but the husband makes a short cameo.
- While on the video topic, I recorded 3 Ask Roni sessions today. I’m working on extracting the audio so I can post podcasts. I’m trying to figure the whole thing out and I hope to post the first one tomorrow.
- My garden is FINALLY producing a plethora of produce. Tomatoes, green beans and a zucchini the size of a baseball bat came out today. I LOVE having my small garden but I wish I had more time for it. I’m weeded over and the japanese beetles are having a field day!
- On the workout front, I feel like I’m slowly getting back up to my pre-surgery routine. Today I hit a step class and climbed the rock wall. Yesterday I ran a mile and lifted. I have to get my but in gear if I’m ever going to make my goals this year!
- If you saw my recent video post, you saw how emotional I became trying to answer Bab’s question. Well, we’ve been emailing back and forth and I have her permission to share our conversation. I’m hoping it will help motivate those of us that struggle with our body image issues. Look for that tomorrow, I wanted to post it earlier but this darn email thing set me back.
- Also keep an eye out for a new produce pick this week. I picked up a melon I never heard of before and I can’t wait to try it!
Finally, my food journal today. Hope you all had a great weekend!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

I had TONS of trouble with my WordPress upgrade. I was stuck too for the first time (mine was a photo insert problem). Luckily Windows Live Writer was my way of getting around it, but I’d be stuck without emailed comments too. Good luck Roni.
I love looking at your food choices. It gives me so many ideas of things I could be eating. Congrats on getting back into climbing!
Roni, you are truly a one of a kind…I think it’s great that you have been taking not just the time but even the “head space” to reach out to one of your readers “Babs” and help her. Back in Jan. I fist discovered your site and emailed you to ask what helped you the most and you did the same and took the time for me. I am now about 20+ lbs lighter, now a runner and inspiring Triathlete….thanks for being the woman we all strive to be.
Roni,
Love your blog – has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like that actress on the TBS show “My Boys”? You have a lot of similar facial features, i think!
Have a great day!
Katie
What is with WordPress lately?
Roni emailed me back too!
Melissa! Congrats!! That’s is AWESOME!
And Thank you so much for kind comment, All I have to say is I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t want to help, honestly, it’s just what I do!
Katie, That wouldn’t happen to be Sherry Stringfield would it? That is who my husband used to think I looked like, when she was on ER.
I always said I have a common face, I get the “you look like…” all the time! lol
Hi Roni, do you get emails from hungrygirl? She mentioned this morning that there is a new reality tv show that is looking for 4 chefs, and I thought of you immediately. You should really check it out.
A couple of days ago I left a message saying what a good cook you were, and that was BEFORE I tried the two recipes I had picked out. Unbelievable! The Veggie Summer Bake was fantastic, and I feel like I am eating something decadent and completely good for me at the same time. Could not be improved by adding cheese in my opinion! Then I used your recipe for Sweet and Tangy Salmon, but I had orange roughy defrosted already. It was delicious too! Thank you so much. You are my favorite recipe site!
Can’t wait to try the Blueberry Mango crisp. Might have to substitute some other fruit because I really want to try it today and I don’t have mango. I saw the recipe is up for the chocolate kettle corn, but I am lazy. This is what I do: use the 94% fat free kettle corn (jolly time is my favorite) and just suck on one points worth of dark chocolate while I am eating the kettle corn. Weird, I know, but it works for me.
Jean, maybe we can help each other, email me offline.
Debby! Thanks!! I filled it out, doesn’t hurt to try, right?!? Glad you liked the ideas!
Hi Roni,
I am by no means a gardening expert, but I might have a solution for the Japanese beetle problem in your garden. When my family used to live in Charlotte, NC, Japanese beetles were everywhere. People would hang special bags in their yards that would attract the beetles and then trap them. I can’t remember what they were called, but I bet a garden supply store would know the exact name. It might be a good alternative to spraying a pesticide on your garden and save the veggies for you to enjoy instead of the bugs!
Michelly – I totally been meaning to get one, but the husband thinks it will attract even more! LOL
my parents’ garden is producing like nuts….I am trying to keep up with all the tomatoes by turning it into sauce……….I throw grated zucchini in there too. This winter I will be grateful when I am pulling out the garden treasures from the freezer. I am going to check out your video now ;)
